Really a nice trip down memory lane.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI was on the team from its inception in 2007 till I graduated in 2009. I had the opportunity to lead the team from 2007 to 2009 (system design and integration) and the electrical team from 2008 to 2010.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFrom my muddled memory, in 2007, Phillip designed the control boards &#8211; only to head to an internship &#8211; leaving Ben and I to shake out the bugs. In 2007 I designed the kicker boards.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn 2008, I (with firmware by Ben) designed new control boards. These boards boasted an ARM 7, a XILINX FPGA, RF communications, and circuitry to control five brushless motors. In the 11th hour I also redesigned the kicker board &#8211; new form-factor and a few new safety features. And in the 12th hour Ben designed new antennas.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn 2009, Ben replaced the Linx modules with some of his own design &#8211; using the CC1101 &#8211; and replaced the antennas with a stripline design. In 2009, I redesigned the kicker boards &#8211; leaving them much too powerful for their own good.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn 2010 and 2011, Ben fixed the bugs in my most recent kicker board and polished up the control board. Man the new ones are sexy.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI have a draft post describing the electrical system (as I designed it) in a bit more depth, but until then, click through for a video tour!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I flew home to Atlanta over Thanksgiving, I had the opportunity to visit the &#8220;RoboJackets RoboCup Electronics Museum&#8221;.
